Dan Holiday's "client" is a cynical old millionaire bent on playing games with people for his own sick amusement. This time he goads Holiday into playing along by laying a guilt trip on him if he doesn't join an LA-wide treasure hunt for hidden cash ($100,000) versus a hardened criminal and two other avaricious types. Will Holiday outfox the old fox or will the eccentric (and criminal) old "philanthropist" have his way?

These are excellent written scripts -varied in plots from one episode to the next - and ably acted by Alan Ladd and cast.

Forst heard these shows on Stan Freeberg's 'old time radio' show in the 1980s and tape recorded them...tho they didnt come often ( Stan played a lot of 'suspense' shows, which were also fine). This os one of the best ones, with Jack ( 'Dragnet') Webb. My favorites are 'Last will and nursery rhyme', 'The haunted Artist' and the one ( cant think of its name right off) with Barry Kroger ( voice a bit like orson wells) as the letter writer who promises to find out the identity of the man behind box 13 and murder him within 3 days...that is the grimmest one...and Kroger was good in any role, tho not given much work in films ( he had a 'radio face') he was great as the crooked lawyer who meets a grisly end in the Richard Conte-Victor Mature film noir ' Cry of thr city' from 1947.
